Cryptography is the study of mathematical techniques related to aspects of information security such as confidentiality, data integrity, entity authentication, and data origin authentication. Steganography is the science of embedding information into the cover image viz., text, video, and image without causing statistically significant modification to the cover image. Combining these two techniques either way together result to new technique-Metamorphic Cryptography [14]. The data (text, audio, video, images) is transformed into cipher data using a key, concealed into another cover object (audio, video, images) using Steganography converting it into a Stegno object, and is finally sent to the receiver. Or the data (text, audio, video, images) is concealed into Cover Object resulting into Stegno Object, (Steganography)and further converting Stegno Object into Cipher Stegno Object (audio, video, images) using Cryptography, and is finally sent to the receiver. This proposed both the technique thus achieves double layer security to data.

Combining Cryptography and Steganography is interesting field and growing rapidly for information hiding in the area of information security.lt has a vital role in defence as well as civil applications. Cryptography can be used along with Steganography to make a highly secure data high in the interest of the military. However, Steganography has its place in security. Though it cannot replace cryptography totally, it is intended to supplement it. Video files have not been combined with Cryptography and Steganogarphy yet; hence we are focus on Video files using Metamorphic Cryptography so that to provide full proof Security for the videos that can be transmitted over the network securely.
